Folder Organizer

Windows File Explorer is your basic navigation method, fitted with a lot of links to quickly access and process files and locations of interest. There are some alternatives you can use in this regard, and Folder Organizer proves to be quite the example, letting you manage different tools and access folders from the tray area.

The application’s options menu shows up when it’s first launched so you can set up a few things. On the one hand, there’s the option to have the program start with Windows, and define run mode, which can be in tray, hidden, or exit when the session ends. Moreover, you can define a list of custom folders to open, what to clear, and what to open on exit.

When all configurations are in order, the application is accessible from the tray area. A right-click on the icon brings up a small menu with different actions such as cleaning particular folders, opening configured and preset locations, or even change the screen resolution.

It comes packed with an impressive variety of preset locations, which pretty much cover up basic and advanced needs. Among others, you have direct access to the startup, send-to, desktop, documents, or system folders, as well as the list you created. Locations to clear are also well organized, mostly targeting temporary content, recent documents, and such.

As mentioned, there’s the possibility to have specific tasks triggered on application exit, such as cleaning out particular folders. The only downside to the whole operation is that you can’t set a hotkey command to easily bring up the menu.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Folder Organizer is a reliable application especially if you frequently need to navigate to important locations on your computer. A custom list can be created, while the clear option is sore to help free up some space and memory.
